  1. Well I sure do! I'm afraid i agree to !
  2. My border is now two years old . She thinks she is the Grim Reaper !
  3. My Hodgdon manual shows 25.3 grn MAX load for 55grn using H335 3203 fps 24'' barrel.
  4. Liam send it back ! You will get a new one . Smithy Why do you think it need cleaning ? I only spray mine with WD40 about once a year, and then very lightly . It is used every sat night rain or dry just leave out to air when i get in and put away in the morning
  5. Try shooting next to a .50 with a brake ! The blast presses your eye balls and makes your lungs move. And makes a .308 sound like an air rifle.
  6. My choice off your list would be . 1 Swarovski only because they are slightly better finished than S&B [ but i would go 8x50] 2 S&B / Zeiss 4 Meopta
  7. Ear protection and reduction in recoil full bore mods do both . It is true they do not add to a rifles looks but many old deerstalkers do not hear very well. Deer don't mind though if a rifle has a mod on or not though i have shot deer without a moderated rifle with less than 5 min between shots, while still in the high seat giving a shot beast waiting time.
  8. The forum Should be for advice for the unsure ! And hopefully stop them making a mistake that someone else has made. I saw the topic about the pup and was amazed the chap wanted to meet and fight the folk he asked advice from ! MAD . My advice is to weed out the answers from people who actually HAVE the thing you are asking about and read the past posts on what they are expert on ! you will sometimes be shocked at the little time some experts have been doing the subject they preach about. As for the falling out just remember it is a forum and you do not have to take any advice or
  9. Nice job, and good pics but i would get a HS stock.
  10. I think he means you send your battered/ scratched stock to him for repair re-polish.
  11. What Stocks are you using please post ONLY if you have one or had one ! Accuracy international Good stiff stock,heavy and ideal for prone shooting. But the plastic is a bit soft and marks easily if the bolt is not withdrawn carefully. Bell & Carlson Good stiff stock ,Very hard metal sub-frame ,two front swivel points, could do with the internal finish to be slightly better. H & S Precision Very stiff, very light, Ali sub-frame , overall finish good , not had chance to fire the rifle with this yet so will report if better/worse than the remington plastic st
  12. Try looking on the Rimfire / Centrefire section The idiots on there post blown up pictures of rabbits shot with .243 and .223 [body shots]! Shows how much respect they have about their quarry ! or everyones else's sport ! Why do they need to boast ??????????
  13. Snap Shot is correct ! mint in box 8x56 schmidt and bender hungarian just sold on bbs for £325 So Good used glass is out there for a good price you just have to track it down.
  14. A wise choice ! All that has been said about heavy rifles and stalking/foxing is true if you are walking, but if you are in a high seat or 4x4 the weight is then your friend .
  15. If they are your choice's i would go for the sako ! [ tikka only make long action] Mod can wait [ untill you can buy one, not needed but nice to have ] Scope you can start off cheap or S/H Add ons can come and go as you can get more cash, but start with the best rifle you can buy ! And you will not wish you had bought the other better rifle.
  16. I would do not think you would get .308 as a fox only caliber ! But deer and fox on large caliber is not a problem at all ! I have deer and fox on 7.62/.303/6.5 rifles with no problem at all.
  17. I'm with flytie ! Feo's are there to help you, use the service you pay for . And if they say no they will still try to help in another direction . Good luck 6.5 is a great round.
  18. This is news to me and a lot of other people I'm sure, would you be kind enough to advise the source of this information! Thank you! Out of your book
  19. Calm down deker ! The p.s was a reference to Mr L not yourself ! And as to follow others suggestions to f off it was your mate MR L . While i commend you backing up your mate if he was telling the truth . Why don't you have a go at him ? Coldco*k
  20. Zooms are good BUT most are set to max and never moved again . Fixed is my preference for a hunting rifle , i have a zoom on the .22rf but its at max zoom and has been for 20 years. I have a zoom on my range rifle though and it sometimes gets moved but not often.
  21. £250 is the lowest i would sell for !
  22. Decker. I know Mr L is a big mate of your's but please ! Read all his reply's when ever i post he always kicks off . Grudges are a two way thing, it is not me name calling or getting my mates to help him out of his own bragging. All i have asked is for him to back his claims with fact ! why is that a grudge ? He and you don't have to post a reply, Back up claims or don't post them simple !! P.S i have crossed swords with you and do not swear or abuse you !
  23. I've Never said you have not fired a full bore semi i asked if you had ? You stated you had but will not give any details and then get all nasty again. I am not interested in your life ! But when asked a few facts that are not personal you then swear and rant . Why ?
